Women’s Clothes: How to Dress the Inverted Triangle Body Type

Sexy, curvy and gorgeous: If you have an inverted triangle shape, you might think that these adjectives don’t apply to you.

Great news!

For women with this body type, you can confidently conquer your fashion challenges by wearing clothes that balance too-wide shoulders, play up your best features and add curves to your narrow waist and hips.

Dresses for the Inverted Triangle Body Type

Wear A-line or wrap dresses that balance your broad shoulders and add curves to your thin hips and thighs. If you are fashion-forward and trendy, don’t go gaga with your outfit.

Leave any puffed sleeves or Lady Gaga-inspired embellished shoulders and or any old wild womens clothes to the fashion-forward pop music starlet.

Tops for the Inverted Triangle Body Type

If you have a large bosom, choose deep-V neck, U-neck and wrapped tops to minimize the girls and draw the eye away from your shoulders.

While narrow spaghetti strapped tops are a summer staple, wear thick straps instead to show a little skin and reduce the appearance of broad shoulders when the temps rise.

Skirts and Pants for the Inverted Triangle Body Type

To add a little J. Lo to your bottom half, drape your hips in full, circle or A-line skirts that flare around your waistline and add curves in an instant.

Need a pair of stylish pants to flatter your figure? Don a pair of wide-legged, harem or cargo pants (with large pockets) to add curves to your boyish hips, or wear low to mid-rise jeans with a wide waistband.

Jackets, Sweaters and Coats for the Inverted Triangle Body Type

Belted sweaters, coats nipped at the waist and peplum jackets create curves below the waist and balance inverted triangle-shaped bodies beautifully. If you are petite, three-quarter length A-line coats combined with sky-high boots will make you appear taller, curvier and longer.
